NAME

       wcswidth - determine columns needed for a fixed-size wide-character string

SYNOPSIS

       #define _XOPEN_SOURCE		 /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcswidth(const wchar_t *s, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wcswidth()	function  returns  the number of columns needed to represent the wide-character string pointed to by s, but at most n wide
       characters.  If a nonprintable wide character occurs among these characters, -1 is returned.

RETURN VALUE

       The wcswidth() function returns the number of column positions for the wide-character string s, truncated to at most length n.
